Only “home” spectators, therefore Chinese, at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. The IOC has in fact announced that the Games will not be open to spectators from abroad.
A decision taken - explained the Olympic committee itself - by virtue of the restrictions imposed in the country due to the Covid-19 epidemic.
The IOC also added that only "fully vaccinated" participants will be exempted from the 21-day quarantine required by the People's Republic authorities, unless athletes can provide "a justified medical exemption".
The Beijing Winter Olympics are scheduled for February 4-20, 2022. Having also organized the 2008 Summer Games, the Chinese capital is the first city to host both events.
